    Vickie, I have been missing out. In my Italian family we never used capers in our Potato Gratin. Now I have this wonderful exciting recipe to try tonight.
    I love that golden crust on top. I will remember to use heaping tablespoons of those capers.
    Running out for a whole fish some wine to pare with this recipe and some fresh Pecorino Romano
    By for now
